Is the relationship i have with my best friend normal?

My best friend and I are both female. We have been best friends for about six years now. It all started when we began to read stories on Quizilla in 2007. We began to act these stories out, role-playing them with each other. We decided that we had to stop not too long ago, but the acting stuck somewhat. Although we were not acting as any characters anymore, we were just being ourselves and that is what we have been doing. When we role-played, I acted as her boyfriend and some of those actions never went away. We have a secret place in a secluded part of her apartment building and it's the only place we are really comfortable being ourselves. Not to say we aren't comfortable being ourselves, we just don't need people to be judging us outside and the things we do may not be viewed as "normal" by society. Even our families judge us and "suspect" things that aren't true. In reality, we don't love each other like that. We just have a very physical friendship love. We're not "in love" with each other, there's no attraction or anything like that. Things like kissing, hugging, cuddling, they just seem normal to us and just a way to show our love. Our view on this is that society has been forced to think that things like this are unnatural, therefore people become very closed minded when a situation like this is mentioned. What do you think?

    People, women in particular are more fluid in our affections and attractions that society gives us credit for. Hard categories like gay, bi, and straight are merely words describing basic sexual relationship categories, though we give them power by seeking to identify ourselves and others along those lines. When people don't really fit into those categories, others may try to force the issue. Your relationship with your friend is slightly outside the modern realm of the normal, though it is hardly odd for two girls to be physically but unsexually affectionate. People are just inclined to assume the two of you are lesbians because this society has lost its appreciation of innocence and sees sex everywhere.
